Question

Nacl is soluble in water but not in chloroform explain

Answer 1

Ionic compounds are formed by the real sharing of electrons between atoms. These compounds are soluble in water but not in an organic solvent. This is because ionic compounds are polar solute so they they dissolve only in polar solvents but, organic solvents are non-polar.

Here, Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound and Chloroform (CHCl3) is an organic solvent. So it do not dissolve in chloroform.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

because polar can dissolve in polar as we know Nacl and water both are polar whereas cholofrom is nonpolar hence it is insoluble in chloroform
